Integrated Audit Services for Workplace Safety and Health

Improve workplace safety conditions effectively and efficiently

In order to minimize injuries, damages or financial loss, organisations have to be proactive in identifying and understanding common risks to workplace safety, who are exposed to them, and others questions such as why, when, as well as frequency, severity and probability of the consequences. With this information, an organization can establish their priorities during risk assessment.

Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) systems and policies are therefore seen as a signal of how much importance an organisation places in promoting a safe and healthy working environment. As changes to industrial environment and government regulations occur quite frequently, organisations need to manage their workplace safety by developing an integrated audit to stay compliant, and improve continuously in the area of workplace safety and health.

An integrated audit also provides more assurance and cost effectiveness, since it is a more detailed and objective evaluation, while reducing risks across safety, environmental, quality issues

Risk Assessments (RA) for Workplace Safety

Risk assessment is a complete review whereby you identify hazardous situations, things or processes, evaluate their risk levels, and then determine the right measures to eliminate or control them. A well organized workplace safety management plan always includes proper risk assessments, in order lower the risks of accidents or damages.

A WSH audit is one of the main steps in implementing WSH management system and evaluating its performance. It is a key tool that helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses in an organisation’s WSH management system, and to highlight opportunities for improvements.

An integrated audit is an ideal approach, for organisations that require a detailed and objective evaluation of their WSH systems and policies. During the audit, It is important during risk assessment to include factors that contribute to risk levels such as:

work environment (layout, condition etc)

capabilities, experience of operational staff

systems being used at the workplace

range of foreseeable conditions

There are no straightforward answers to determine risk levels. Risk assessment requires detailed knowledge of the workplace activities, urgency of situations, and lastly, an objective judgment during the review. It is important to know if your risk assessment was complete and accurate. It is also essential to be sure those changes in the workplace have not introduced new hazards or changed hazards of lower priority to a higher priority.

It is good to conduct risk assessment regularly, to ensure that control methods are adequate, achievable, effective, and that findings from risk assessments are communicated to everyone who is involved.
